"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

What are you thinking when u see a guy getting shot down?
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I think at least he had the balls to give it a shot, unlike the rest of the guys that stand around poking fun at him (usually the ones who don't have the confidence to approach).

I say "hah, what a bltch, im gonna go over there and see wtf her problem is"
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

thats even worse than the people who make fun of him, cause your assuming she's a bltch instead of find out fer yourself.

What i would do is go over there and try to pick her up, either cold or find out what he did so i don't make the same mistakes ;).

Exactly where I want to be.
Dude(s) - Not every girl does - or has to - like you. It's a fact.

In the last four years, I've dated around...I dont know, 10 people or so. I've got shot down three times, even though I thought I had the girl exactly where I wanted. It happens. If you let getting shot down bother you, it's just going to breed hesitation in your mind. Hesitation that it will happen again. Not that it can happen again (because it can), but that it will happen every time you try.

Don't go there.

Just look down your shorts and say "yep, they're still there" and get yourself back in the game.

I'm sorry but a person is a ***** in my mind if you approach them friendly and normally without a corny line or something and they shoot you down. Shoot you down like they are in some way better than you, then yeah Im going to assume shes a *****. But, if he uses some corny line then I'd say "HAh, what an AFC, let me go show him how its done."

That doesnt mean you should give up if its a *****, it just means you should treat her differently.

Find out what he did wrong? Wonder about it, think about it, let it buzz aruond in your mind for 3 minutes. Then drastically approach her, showing the signals that youve been thinking about her for the past three minutes.

I figure you're asking this question cuz u think it will help you to realize that no one cares if you get shot down. DO NOT think of it like that. NEVER look at yourself in a third person perspective cuz it'll make you less confident and hurt ur self image.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

What if she's had a bad day? What if she just isn't attracted to you?

It's all relative. Last time, the chick thought she was all superior to the guy and she was really... not superior hehe. My female friends (2 scorching hot babes) then proceeded to pick HIM up in front of the other biatch. I then proceeded to approach the chick that shot the guy down. Right before I reached her and everyone was watching, I changed directions and headed towards a chick some 3 feet away from the biatch and chatted her up. My other male friend took a pitcure of HB biatch's reaction. Priceless.

Public humialiation. My favorite. Only works on the insecure. Only used on the insecure.
